Transmission NT on RN6, can't add torrent via Remote GUI

Hi Guys - I'm bashing my head against the wall trying to get Transmission Remote GUI set up after migrating from OS4 to OS6. I've got Transmission NT installed, and it's working fine. Where I'm having troubles is with the Remote GUI - which I previously had working fine under OS4.

 

I've gotten as far as being able to connect Remote GUI to the daemon, but I error out when trying to add new torrents. The way it behaves suggests I'm trying to save into the wrong spot / some folder Transmission doesn't have permissions too - but I'm copy / pasting the paths in... In fact, existing torrents added via the web client work just fine with the same path I'm trying to hit.

 

I'm sure there's something basic like a backslash I'm missing, but would appreciate any pointers.

 

The error that I'm getting;

 

 

Here are my path mappings - which work when I click to browse to the folder to save to;

 

And when I'm adding a torrent - the folder I'm trying to save to;

 


My Remote GUI login settings;

 

 

And a snapshot from WinSCP showing the folder permissions that should be wide open;

    Did you download the logs and look for a more verbose error message?

      About the only thing I see in the HTTP log is a lot of this;

       

      Mar 29 17:10:58 ReadyNAS apache2[6201]: [error] (70007)The timeout specified has expired: proxy: prefetch request body failed to 127.0.0.1:9201 (127.0.0.1) from 192.168.60.10 ()

      Are there any other logs that may shed more light?

        Try looking in \\nas-ip-address\data\.apps\nastools-transmission\rpc with NAS admin credentials via windows explorer.

         

        If your volume name isn't data, then change the path to include your volume name.

  • Well - time to close off my own thread. I got it working, but I'm not 100% sure how. I didn't make any significant changes - I was just trying the same path as shown in OP and it started working. My only theory at this point is that cutting / pasting the path from one place or another... I dunno, trailing space that I can't see or something. All I know is that the path looks exactly like it does in OP, except now it works.

     

    I don't know what's worse - having it broken, or not having the satisfaction of knowing how it was fixed! Thanks for the help.
